THE SPEAK-NO-EVIL CLUB.

A very novel society which has
been started in England is called
u" The Speak-no-Evil Society" It's
members are cnjoined before speak
ing evil Of any one to ask themselves
three questions: els it true? Is it
kind? Is it necessary These
simple questions, if answered by all
evil-speakers before altering the re-
marks dprogatory to Others, might
result in a new society of most de-
lightful qualities. Often people
speak evil, not from any motives Of
unkindness, but from vanity. They
think that by pointing out the faults
of other people they will cause then
own virtues to shine out in a bright,
err light. Nothing could be more
erroneous. BY speaking evil they
create the distruSt of those who
hear them and lose a position OF
dignity which true reserve always
brings. When evil speaking is ne
cessary to warn others against plac
ing confidence in the evil doer, the
circumstances of the case are en-
tirely changed and the necessity OF
the criticism will cause the critic tc
be respected. On a similar basi,
with the "Speak- no-Evil Club" is s
club proposed by Good House
keeping" for mind cure, Its rules
are: Personal ills are not to be men
toned. Anything like gossip is t.
be avoided. Nothing depressing Of
gloomy is to be allowed, Thu frs
rule is valuable adjunct to the
speak-no-evil questions. One who
continually speaks evil of himself i,
not only selfish and discourteous t.
others, but a boor who does not put
in practice the first rule of polit,
society, His complaints are mis-
trusted and his criticisms made al
object of amusement. Unselishnes
makes the rules which prevent tn,

and entitled a bill TO establish Agri-
cultural Experiment Stations in
connection with the colleges es-
tabllshed in the several States
under the provisions of an act APP
proved July ., 1852, aud of the acts
supplementary thereto. In his re-
marks on this subject Gen. Circuit
paid a handsome tribute to the early
pioneers of Vermont, gave a history
of its agricultural progress without
word of redundancy, and showed
that iAasmuch as the land had been
under cultivation something more
than a hundred years the result had
been wasteful of the resources Of the
soil, incident to all new countries.
at is fact" said the General, "sad
but true, that the green hills of Yer
mont are not now IS green as once
they WERE" lie then went on to
state how hundred years and more
of constant cropping, with no ade-
quate return Of the elements of plant
food to the soil, had Slapped much
of Its original fertility, especially on
the hill tops and side hills, but that
the bottoms and hollows, only a
small portion Of the whole area of
the State, were in better condition,
thought somewhat worn. Having
thus briefly summarized the cause of
this depletion of the soil, he next
proceeded to the remedy, the sub.
stance of his argument being that
to improve the soil the farmer must
know what ingredients are lacking,
whether by nitrogen, nitrate Of So
dium, potash, phosphoric acid, OF
superphosphate of lime its particular
wants can be supplied. Now, says
the General, to determine this
belongs to the domain of agricul
tural chemistry, and as the average
farmer knows confesscdly nothing
whatever of this science, yet, as til,
information is essential to his sue
cess, how is he to acquire it? How
] except from the agricultural expert
ment station, such as is provided BY
this bill, to which he may send sam
Piles of his soil for analysis and from
which he may learn the relative
value of fertilizers and their adapta
bility to the wants of his soil? The
General then analysed the bill
showed the Importance of agricul
ture as contributing to the gen
eral fund of the country, and then
compared it with the expense, ar
guing that from an economic poin
of view alone it must be for the in
terest of the American people t.

Ingalls, father was well to do, but not
wealthy. lie WAS in the shoe BUSINESS,

shoes, and from a missionary paper which
came into the family one OF his first ambi-

root. He next took a notion that he would
be a newspaper man, and he would,
indeed, have made one of the creates edi-
tors Of the country. But newspapers did
not pay well thirty years ago, and Senator
Ingalls, father told him that he must have
a profession first, and that writing alone
would not support him. 1t was this that
